It is believed that modern humans evolved in Africa around 50000-100000 years ago. They have since migrated to the other continents.

In fact, researchers believe that during the Pleistocene Ice Ages the Bering strait froze connecting modern day Siberia and Alaska allowing humans to migrate to the Americas around 16500 years ago.
